Kuqa was once the center of the ancient kingdom of Qiuci. The inhabitants were Indo Eurpean Tocharians, who migrated down from Anatolia ( Turkey ) and Caucasus. Kuqa musicians and artists were very much the fashion in the big city of Chang’an – the present Xian.
Kuqa is located on the northern edge of the Tarism Basin, 280km west of Korla and 290km east of Aksu. The present Kuqa is a small, but friendly Uighur town. There is a great sunday market in the city center. It is worthwhile visiting the bazaar as well as the Great Mosque.
Major attractions
1.Tianshan Grand Canyon
The Tianshan Mystery Canyon is located in the mountain area 72km north of Kuqa.
The canyon is characterized by oddly-shaped rocks, craggy pinnacles, rugged cliffs and deep ravines. The width of the canyon changes due to the terrain. While the broadest area is 53 meter wide, the narrowest section is too narrow for one person to go through sideways.
